6:03 pm
a 7% grows receipts tax. that revenue then would be used to pay for the city services. >> david gearhart is a user of medical marijuana and he says the new tax could push some business away from legitimate providers. >> it makes the people who aren't selling the medicine legally better providers. at least the people actually doing it without a license will probably make more money. >> reporter: the exact amount that could be collected from medical marijuana dispensaries is at this point not known. but david hodges says the legal fight is far from over. >> i would love to pay tax if it were appropriate and it didn't endanger my business. unfortunately, the way the measure u is structured it would be implying that our business is doing something illegal. >> reporter: the first salvo on that legal fight will be fired tomorrow. that is because the collective that you just heard from, well, they are going to close their business as it is today and re- open tomorrow under a different name. their contention is until the new business under the new name
6:04 pm
gets a new city business license they will be unable to comply with this new tax that's required. dana, the legal outcome of this even they concede remains to be seen. but that's the strategy they are are employing during tomorrow. >> there are such wide ranging implications for this. is this the first time a class of business like this has been singled out to pay a different tax? >> we asked many of the users didn't want to go on camera. how do you feel, do you feel like you are being singled as out? believe it or not they would like to pay some tax and it is no different than other industries such as alcohol consumption which does have special taxes. >> mark sayr, thank you. >> san francisco's current mayor, he was appointed. so what happens when the job is decided by another election. phil mater on the growing field and the growing complaints about boredom. >> reporter: we know that our city of san francisco is a beacon to the rest of the world when it comes to social justice

6:06 pm
>> a total roll of the dice. >> they couldn't be much more apart when it comes to politics. ironically, however, they share the same opinion of the lineup for mayor so far. >> how about boring? when are these candidates going to start saying something about the future of the city? >> not as boring of a list as you could assemble.

6:07 pm
voice voting this time around. so the bigger the field gets, then it could become even more confusing to people. >> yes, it is. the old election system which was one election and then a run- off was kind of like playing poker. got the cards and put them down and winners and losers and then you trimmed the field down to two. this time it is more like roulette. can you throw the ball out there. it could be spinning around the way everybody gets three picks and the way the elimination goes it can bounce from one candidate to one candidate. serve getting in. by the way chris daily -- daly said if somebody from the left doesn't get in he will. >> and in that case it will be boring no more. >> thanks, phil. >> turn to statewide politics. an exclusive eyewitness poll released today shows the governor's approval rating has grown in the last month. 52% tell survey usa approve of the job that jerry brown is doing. that is nine points higher than the last poll done just after he took office.

len ramirez is in cupertino . flee weeks ago we told you it could happen. and tonight we are seeing it. $4 gas. len ramirez is in coopertino where a gas station is selling a gallon of regular un leaded for more than $4. how are the drivers reacting? >> reporter: reaching into their wallets and they don't like it. when you these prices $4 for regular and $4.15 for plus gasoline and $4.25 for premium. you just don't see $4 gas very much. that's why we are going to bring you on this side of the sign to show you they ran out of 4s. it is a number that doesn't get used very much. the owner of this gas station might also have to order some $5s. at these prices. >> it is a big jump. >> reporter: you will want to get every drop. we watched as gas prices took
6:14 pm
small steps. >> it daily goes up too high. >> reporter: but at this 76 station in coopertino. regular unled took one giant leap over the $4 barrier. >> i'm surprised. (speaking spanish). >> too expensive. >> reporter: in any language, it seems too much and this man is blaming big oil. >> we are paying the profits for the oil companies that are making their profits here. >> reporter: but he is not just a driver. he owns this 76 station at stephen's creek and stern. >> are you going to get in trouble by saying that? >> reporter: not really. [ laughter ] >> reporter: not really, no. >> reporter: okay. that's the fact to let people know. why not? they should know that i am not the one making the money but the oil companies are. >> reporter: he ought to know. he has owned the station for 18 years. although most of his competitors are still well below his prices, he said he had to raise this because it is costing him more. >> which i purchased it which i did last night, the gas price was high. i sell it a little bit higher.
6:15 pm
>> reporter: to most drivers the high prices are not a surprise. >> i suppose it's a consequence of the prices in the middle east with the uncertainty about oil supplies. >> reporter: the only question is how high will it go? >> it could go as high as $5 as far as i'm concerned. i have seen it before. there is no guarantee it is not going to happen again. >> reporter: now, there is cheaper gas on this boulevard. as you can see from our live shot here, no one is really taking advantage of those high prices. they are paying the lower prices where they can. but the owner of this station says he is probably going to have to raise prices again in just two days. in a couple of days $4.05 for regular will seem like a bargain. len ramirez, cbs 5. >> one group of area job seekers thinks they have found a great way to catch the attention of employers. ann? >> reporter: 135,000 ride bart each day so a pretty good place to be seen.
6:16 pm

6:18 pm
themselves out there. >> reporter: he did have one suggestion that they put their full resumes on the site. >> it is important to not leave any information out. you have very few seconds to get an employer's attention. and so you want to make it as easy as possible to find out as much as possible about you. >> reporter: the first day the signs were up they got 700 hits on their website. more importantly, it is already getting results. >> i have an interview last thursday. it was a phone interview. it came from our billboard. >> awsome. >> so i think that's exciting.

6:24 pm
with an extremely adepressive brain tumour. the cancer appears in the brain stem invading healthy brain tissue. >> it is a horrible disease. >> reporter: even with treatment the prognosis is grim. this cancer is almost universally fatal. >> survival for this really horrible brain tumour that inflicts children is nine months. >> there have been no known treatments for this cancer in five years. but there is new hope thanks to dylan, his parents and a team of scientists at stanford. dylan was brought to the medical center he was at the end of his life. his parents then met neurologist and researcher dr. michelle mangay and asked if they could donate his brain tumour. >> his tumour needs to be donated and here is somebody that can find something other than sorry your child is going to die. >> when dylan died the stanford team quickly harvested his brain tumour. for the first time they were able to coax the cancer cells
6:25 pm
from dylan's tumour to degree in the lab. >> hopefully dylan's tumour will shed some light on potential new theirs. >> they published a ground- breaking study to determine how the tumour may grow. dylan is a real super hero. one day his brother will know. >> his life may have been short but his memory will live on forever because of what we were able to do. >> it's very inspiring. and i truly hope no other parent has to go through this in time again. >> there is an online community of parents with kids who have this particular type of brain cancer. and some have also donated their late childrens' tumours to stanford in hopes of sparing other families the pain that they have experienced. >> let's hope the new theirs come very quickly. >> sure hope so. >> all right, kim. well, the next big lift is underway. the changes you will see high above san francisco bay this week. just another big story unfolding below on the water.

6:27 pm
6:28 pm
6:29 pm
saved the city of san francisco [ music ] >> time to call in mr. clean. you see, it turns out low-flow toilets have saved the city of san francisco a lot of water, but they are causing a stink in the city sewers. mark sugarman gets to the bottom of it. mike? >> reporter: well, it's sodium hypochloride. it's bleach. and san francisco wants to spend a ton of dough to put it in the water system to clean the water and make things smell better. but some people think a lot of it will end up in the bay. will it? san francisco is a beautiful place. but some parts stink. >> number two. >> poop. it smelled like poop. >> reporter: in some parts of the city, you don't even have to be near a storm drain. >> it's crap, what do you think it smells like? >> reporter: particularly on hot days, some neighborhoods smell bad, bad, bad. >> every city with a sewer
6:30 pm
system has sewer odours associated with it. >> reporter: i found that out a few years back during a tour of san francisco's sewers. and since then things have gotten stinkier. new environmentally-friendly low-flow toilets help cut down on the amount of water we use but less water means the sludge backs up and raises a stink. the city wants to spend $14 million for a three-year supply of sodium hypochloride or bleach. >> it takes away the odours so good for the people that live around them. >> reporter: actually 80% of the bleach goes to disinfect the city's drinking water. the rest goes into odour control. it is controversial. a petition online wants to stop the bleaching saying all of that run-off will go into the bay. >> it is absolutely not true. the dissinfection is removing the sodium hypochloride before it gets released so no bleach
6:31 pm
getting into the bay. >> no bleach getting into the bay. >> reporter: using letter water for other reasons people are working less and people aren't using it to garden and stuff. they have been using bleach for years. but it has come before the board of supervisors for this next $14 million bill. and that's when some of the environmentalists saw it and jumped on the band wagon. but the city says it really is not a problem, dana. >> all right. mike sugarman, thank you. >> the word's fastest yacht is now in san francisco. one of the first signs of the city's preparations for the america's cup. but as simon perez shows us it didn't sail in under the golden gate bridge. it had to be brought in on a freighter in pieces. >> reporter: the last boat to win the america's cup had a mast so tall it had to be shipped to san francisco in pieces on a container ship this morning because it wouldn't fit under the golden gate bridge. the mast and sail of the oracle usa17 are actually one piece
6:32 pm
called a wing. to give you an idea just how big the wing is that crane is 190 feet tall. the wing is 230 feet tall, another 40 feet bigger than that raid. >> this boat is is it definitely the fastest boat to enter america's cup and the fastest course racing boat in the world. >> reporter: in miles per hour how fast can it go? >> up to 50 miles per hour. >> reporter: if that has piqued your interest you you will be glad to hear it is here to stay for a while. it will be set up when san francisco hosts america's cup races over the next few years. >> the unique challenge racing in san francisco is probably the strong wind and strong current. >> reporter: in fact, the boats that will be racing in 2013 will have wings 100 feet shorter than this one. the tall wing combined with san francisco winds would be too much. >> just like putting a giant motor into an ultralightweight race car. incredibly powerful but hard to keep it on the road. >> reporter: as we have reported some 70 waterfront businesses may have to move to make way for the race as piers
6:33 pm
are converted to viewing areas and hospitality. >> moving is a big deal. >> reporter: mike denny runs american wine dispensaries. >> can you run a business not knowing where you will be in six months? >> well, it is hard. it is hard are. -- harder. you don't want to start a big project if all of your resources are committed to moving instead of opening a new warehouse. >> reporter: many of these waterfront businesses lease space from the city of san francisco. >> we are studying the cup and we will need to have an environmental process before we can tell people where they have to move or if they have to move. >> reporter: move to make way for this. in san francisco, i'm simon perfect rose, cbs 5. >> crews began lifting the fourth segment of the suspension tower about 5:00 this morning. there are four parts to it like four legs to a stool. each weighs one million pounds and will take 30 hours to get
6:34 pm
from the ground up into place and then bolted to the tower. cal tran says the legs are connected by replaceable beams that can bend and crack. >> by designing the bridge in this way, we have basically created a structure that not only won't fall down in a very large earthquake but that is usable again to emergency services right after the earthquake and then with some retrofit work it can be put back into 100% service. >> crews are working around the clock and hope to finish installation by friday. the tower will eventually reach 525 feet. cal trans is again warning drivers not to be distracted by the new tower. >> a part of healthcare reform most americans really like. but you are running out of time to take advantage of it. the important deadline for parents who want to make sure that their kids are covered. >> allan, a giant baseball player is forcing the question who is on first. i'm dennis and why some are comparing it to one of the biggest show jobs in sports
6:35 pm
history. coming up. >> drug trials have failed. vaccines have stalled. now a radical approach to treat alzheimers. the hope that led this local man to donate coming up next. >> you can't miss the flashing lights. you can't miss a call. >> i know. i have picked up on the first ring. >> i'm warning you, now i can hear almost every word and sound you make. >> the california telephone ad program has a special california phone for every need. best of all, these phones are free to all eligible individuals. >> yes, it was a good call. >> california phones, keeping you connected. >> on the next ,,,,,,,,,,
6:36 pm
6:37 pm
getting cancer. that finding from a new survey which . americans worry about getting alzheimers almost as much as they do getting cancer. that finding from a new study says the fear of alzheimers far outweighs the concern about cancer or heart disease. one bay area man who has watched alzheimers ravage his whole family decided to do whatever he could to fight it. grace lee shows us he found a scientist doing radical new research and put his money where tis mouth is. >> reporter: fighting that's how he remembers his father. >> he was a hard-working but fun-loving guy. >> reporter: two years ago his father died from alzheimer's disease. since then doug -- douglas has lost his step-mother and his step-father to the same
6:38 pm
illness. >> there are a lot of terrible diseases. this happens to be i think one of the worst. >> reporter: so douglas went on a mission to find a new approach in treating alzheimers. he found it at the buck institute for research on aging in nevado. he was so impressed he decided to donate money, a significant chunk, $3.5 million. >> if we want to address and find a cure for diseases like alzheimers, we have to think outside the box. >> reporter: and you think that's what dale is doing? >> i know that's what he is doing. >> reporter: he is referring to dr. dale a neurologist who has studied alzheimers for three decades. he said right now is an exciting time for his work. >> i have never been so enthusiastic. i have never felt as i have recently that we are actually at the point where we have a new insight. >> reporter: he says almost all alzheimers treatments focus on
6:39 pm
the aftermath when the plaque builds up that toxin can act like an acid killing cells. >> what we now believe is that this disease is very different. one of the reasons why we believe that is because, as you probably know, the drug trials over the last several years have uniformly failed. >> reporter: he wants to attack alzheimers from the beginning. he believes he has discovered the protein peptide that decides what you will remember and what you will forget. it's a normal part of brain function. >> so you are actively forgetting the phone that played on the way to work yesterday and you might be forgetting the sixth phone that played on the way to work. but actively remember what your keys are and what your next assignment is. >> reporter: with alzheimers patients he says the brain is off ambulance, skewed toward forgetfulness. the peptide has identified has two paths. if it is cut into four parts the memory is lost, something that happens too often in sick patients. but if it is cut into three parts, you can retain the
6:40 pm
information. he is hoping to find a switching drug that could make sure that peptide is cut in threes so that the balance can be restored. >> so far, his experiments on mice have been promising. he hopes people could try this switching drug in a clinical trial in 2-3 years. >> he was vibrant and he was full of life. >> reporter: while a cure is far fetched, for douglas that is the hope. it would mean his multimillion dollars donation was not only well-spent but it would help people for generations. >> so think that we could have played a part or that we might play a part in solving the dilemma of a disease like this, well, i think what greater legacy could you leave? >> reporter: if only that work had been completed a few years ago, then it could have helped his own father dance a little longer. this is grace lee, cbs 5.
6:41 pm
>> an important healthcare deadline, your duty to report internet sales taxes and an update on that historic but endangered coca cola sign we told you about. that's all coming up in two minutes. >> allan from the weather center we have an update also. this is what a 4.4 at the geezers looks like. more information about that recent earthquake. but the storm heading our way as eyewitness news continues. >> a stunning exhibit has the bay area buzzing. elaborate costumes made from nothing but paper. meet the artist behind cult fashion and learn the secrets to her dazzling techniques.
